2D Freelancing for 3 years (Image heavy)

Hey everyone!
Wow, I can't believe it's been two and a half years since I posted here the last time. In my last post I was showing my new portfolio and I'm happy to say that I've been swamped with freelance work ever since then.
The first year or so I mainly worked on a number of game projects, some with people here on GG and had a lot of fun. Oddly enough that led to me being hired to do the artwork for a 184 pages thick graphic novel, eventually culminating in me being flown to San Diego Comic Con to promote it, quite a trip from Sweden and considering I've never been outside of Europe quite an experience.
Anyhow, long story short. After working on a graphic novel for all this time I want to get back to working on my original passion, games! And to that goal I feel it's time to revamp my portfolio, but rather then just going about it the usual way and paint whatever comes to mind I thought I check with you guys and galls to see what you would like to see in a 2D freelancers portfolio. Be it concept art or 2D in-game assets I'd love to hear your suggestions so please let me know!
In the meantime, I don't want to break an good tradition by having a blog post without some eye candy so I've put together a bunch of pieces that I've scribbled in my spare time here and there as well as some pages from the graphic novel I worked on ;)
So I'd love to hear some suggestions here and of course I'm available for concept work right away as well if there is any interest, all the contact information is on my web-page even if it's about two and a half years old by now: Click Here
